Air Supply's Immigration Snafu

Some Mexican officials in Nuevo Laredo aren't exactly nostalgic about the syrupy sounds of Air Supply.

Best known for the hit "All out of Love," the musicians must have recently felt as if they were all out of luck. It seems that immigration employees of the Mexican government apprehended them for failing to provide documents to legally work in Mexico.

The 1980s duo was just kicking off an eight-city tour of the border nation when eight agents from the National Migration Institute asked to see their work visas. The agents stayed for the group's first concert and then escorted 13 members of Air Supply's entourage to the Migration Institute's offices.

The detainees were eventually allowed to return to their hotel after surrendering their passports to the authorities.

Antonio Sanchez, a spokesman with the Migration Institute told the Associated Press, "We routinely verify the documents of all foreigners who enter the country."

The Left Coast Report thinks the routine verification of documents of foreigners who enter the country sounds like a pretty good idea. Maybe we ought to try it right here in the U.S.
